Basics About the 2022 Nissan Maxima

Nissan’s long-running Maxima backs up its sporty looks with a powerful drivetrain and brilliant handling. The full-sized sedan’s high-tech interior boasts tons of luxurious standard features and options but manages to stay at an affordable price. Here’s your quick introduction to the amazing 2022 Nissan Maxima!

Power and Performance

Compared to its more mundane rivals, the Maxima provides plenty of excitement for drivers with its naturally aspirated 3.5L VQ V6 engine. When you get the pedal to the metal, you’ll be propelled forward by 300 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque—enough grunt for a 0 to 60 time of under six seconds. The powertrain’s Xtronic continuously variable transmission comes with a sport mode that enhances throttle response, steering, and even the exhaust note. Agile handling results from the car’s independent strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. SR models offer a more aggressive ride with extra sport tuning, firmer dampers, and a larger front stabilizer bar. 

Exterior

The Maxima’s handsome bodywork is reminiscent of a well-toned athlete with its sleek and muscular lines. A large black mesh grille and arrow-shaped LED headlights to highlight the car’s performance-oriented design. Signature LED taillights and available LED fog lights to complete the look. For added sportiness, the SR trim features a V-Motion grille, sport black accenting, rear sport spoiler, and black-tipped quad exhaust. 
The power side-view mirrors come with heating and available auto-dimming on the driver’s side. 

Passenger Cabin

Inside the Maxima, you’ll find an ultra-modern cabin packed with creature comforts. Premium soft-touch materials are found throughout the interior and stylish chrome or dark chrome trim. Nissan’s Zero Gravity front sport seats provide deep bolstering for extra support during aggressive maneuvers. All models feature an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support. Fine leather upholstery and heated seats are available for added comfort. 
Thanks to the available memory system, which can remember your preferred seat, steering wheel, and mirror positioning, taking turns at the wheel with another driver during a long road trip is quick and easy.

Infotainment and Connectivity Options

The NissanConnect 8-inch infotainment touchscreen comes standard on all trims and provides the option for intuitive menu navigation through easy-to-reach buttons and knobs. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay let you integrate your smartphone, and the mobile Wi-Fi hotspot allows up to seven devices to access the internet. Passengers will also be able to connect their devices with Bluetooth hands-free technology or by utilizing up to four USB ports.
The available navigation system makes it easier than ever to quickly reach your destination with detailed 3D graphics and real-time traffic updates. Even if you have to park a few blocks away, you can keep your smart device connected to NissanConnect Services for walking directions. For the ultimate listening experience, you’ll want to opt for the 11-speaker Bose premium audio system that offers Centerpoint 2 Surround Technology.
Dubbed by Nissan as the “four-door sports car,” the Maxima combines everyday practicality and advanced technology with thrilling performance. Contact Nissan of Salem today and schedule your test drive with us at your go-to car dealer in Salem, OR!
